My Journey into Writing
The path I took to reach the stars
I can't remember when I haven't had a mind that thought up stories or dreamed the impossible to happen in my own life. There are some cringeworthy attempts from my teenage years that will never see the light of day. (Though one idea might evolve into something one day... at that time I was afraid to add too much drama into the story and when I had the opportunity to add drama I turned away from it)
In 2003 I found the world of fanfiction, had watched the TV Show Dr. Quinn and did search online for things about this show, found a page with fanfiction. I dived right in and have never resurfaced again. Dived into every favorite movie or TV show over the years, some I stayed longer than others. Did attempt to write in Dr. Quinn, Harry Potter, NCIS, The Sound of Music, and now the past two years I have been drowning in Once Upon a Time fanfiction... In this fandom, I met some fabulous woman who also has a passion for writing. My dear friend Jessica introduced me to a piece of music that fits right into a fanfiction I was planing, and suddenly that story turned into the WIP I'm currently working on. It took a life of its own and here I am, attempting the daunting task of actually writing a NOVEL.
I started on Within Arm's Reach in the beginning of may 2020 (that is when the word doc was created ;) later I moved the story to Google docs) and five years later I'm finally ready to publish my frist book.
